Grief Counselling
- According to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, there are 5 stages of Grief that one goes through; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. Grief counselling can help a person in a way as a support for the person who is grieving, although all people don’t grieve the same way but a social support through the time can be helpful and needed.
Â
- The Denial Stage is not being able to accept the truth of the loss. The Anger Stage is a state of mind where the individualss feels they don’t deserve this pain of the loss . It is felt towards the the loved one they have lost. The Bargaining Stage is where the Individual feels that the loss would not have happened if things could have been done differently which has a lot of Self blame and guilt feelings . The Depression Stage is a state of mind where the individuals feels that they don’t want to continue any further as they believe their life is not worthy. The Acceptance Stage is the where the Individuals entirely accepts the loss and focuses on moving on with having happy moments alive
Â
- These stages of grief are universal and experienced by people in all walks of life.
You’re not alone; even if it feels like that in the moment, you must remember that there will always be support and help available for you, all you need to do is ask.
- It is easier to pass through these stages holding someone’s hand than doing so alone; it doesn’t make you weak it makes you stronger. It takes a lot of courage and strength to admit you need help and to take the steps to get it, so don’t let the misconception of ‘appearing weak’ stop you.
- Therapy helps a person move through these stages in a healthy and well-directed manner. It opens our eyes to the stages and what our thoughts and actions might be telling us you stronger. It will not make you forget the person, instead help you continue with your life keeping your memories intact.
- Individuals who lose their loved one are most likely to have feelings of Guilt in Bereavement which tends to have overwhelming feelings making them self blame that they could have done differently. One of the most hardest feeling of losing someone isn’t about not able to say a goodbye, but rather learning to live without them and trying to fill the void and emptiness that is left inside our hearts when they go.

- Through therapy, the therapist would help the individuals in taking them through the stages of grief and helping them in encouraging to focus on the memories of them , ther therapist would help them in overcoming grief by various techniques
